-
we were naturally children of wrath: Adam willfully disobeyed God, bringing sin and death to all his descendants. (Ro 5:12, 19) This inherited imperfection made them “naturally,” or by nature, “children of wrath,” who merit God’s disfavor and who deserve death. (De 32:5; Ro 2:5; 3:10; Eph 5:6; Col 1:21; 3:6) However, they are no longer “children of wrath” because they resist their inherent, sinful inclination and accept the merciful provision of becoming reconciled to him. (Joh 3:36) “Because of his great love,” God provided “the ransom paid by Christ Jesus.”—Eph 2:4, 5; Ro 3:23, 24.
